Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. Occurrence in limbs is even rarer. These tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. Granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. Local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in m...

Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...

fab (french – american- british) group determined a diagnostic classification for leukemia's. but in spite of some reports on different clinical findings and prognosis of hmc and lgl there is no place for hand- mirror cell leukemia and lgl leukemia in this classification. on the other hand, there are different ideas about causes of hand mirror cell and about different changes of large granlar l...

congenital granular cell tumor (cgct) is a unique benign tumor of soft tissue in newborns, which usually occurs on the anterior alveolar mucosa of the jaws. it is 8 to 10 times more prevalent in females than males. we present a case report of a 3-month-old female infant, who had a solitary mass on the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge. the lesion, which was histologically a congenital granular...

adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid is a rare odontogenic tumor. granular cell ameloblastoma also is a less common histological subtype of ameloblastoma. in this report, the patient was a 31‑year‑old male. the lesion was located in the right mandible and was unicystic with well‑defined borders. the tumor tissue was showing a combination of follicular, plexiform, and desmoplastic patterns of am...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

Congenital granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. The newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. This lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. We report a case of an adult t...

Congenital epulis is a very rare benign soft-tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, which is also known as “gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn”. It occurs almost exclusively as a single tumor along the alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborn females. Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter...
